JSA Advice For Streamer

GameSpekr

Ok so, I am currently in the process of finding work, and as a hobby in my downtime i stream video game content to a streaming service.

Recently they have accepted me as a partner where i can start having people subscribe to me for a monthly fee and i get a cut out of it each month, now i have to fill in a tax form and send it off before any of it becomes official, but when it does i could be earning like 60 euro a month from my hobby, i don't believe ill be employed via the service as i don't sign an employment contract/ are not being paid a weekly/monthly wage per say.

The clincher is that there is a job in it for me hopefully starting next month there are a group looking to pick me up to work for them whilst being a partner at the service.

MY QUESTION IS: During the next month or so where i will be getting this 60 a month (i plan on declaring it) is there a way to keep the JSA or at least part of it? Ala report the months earnings or something? This is a big opportunity to secure full time work and i can't afford to go without JSA for the few weeks in between becoming a partner and getting the job? Any advice?


(as im not technically employed by the streaming service i dont think x & o works?)

Call into your local social welfare office and talk to them.

I ended up doing that, got back a form called information relating to self employment, thing is i won't be running a business so they just said go get as much information about the company as i can, so have that sorted
